Ratings and reviews

Narrator is fine, a bit monotone though and doesn't read the title of the story or the chapter number. The entire audio book itself doesn't even list the story titles, just labels everything as chapters of one continuous book so if you aren't familiar with the stories already then it just becomes guess work.

This audio book does not give or announce titles or chapters and is therefore quite useless to me. It is an anthology of Lovecraft's short stories (scores of them) with his novels and novellas among them, over more than 50 hours, and I will not listen long to unknown titles with no discernible pattern. I only listened to a few chapters. I can't imagine someone going to all the work of recording this without even remarking the end of one story and the start of the next.

An ok audiobook, but I didn't know which book was which, and there are some mispronunciations of words like "quay". There isn't much intonation either, meaning that it all kind of blends into one.
